To determine if there are any outliers in the given data set, we need to calculate the interquartile range (IQR) and then use it to identify any potential outliers.<br /><br />The five-number summary provided is:<br />- Minimum: 35<br />- First Quartile (Q1): 60<br />- Median (Q2): 65<br />- Third Quartile (Q3): 70<br />- Maximum: 90<br /><br />First, we calculate the IQR:<br />\[ \text{IQR} = Q3 - Q1 = 70 - 60 = 10 \]<br /><br />Next, we determine the lower and upper bounds for potential outliers:<br />\[ \text{Lower Bound} = Q1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 60 - 1.5 \times 10 = 60 - 15 = 45 \]<br />\[ \text{Upper Bound} = Q3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR} = 70 + 1.5 \times 10 = 70 + 15 = 85 \]<br /><br />Any data points below the lower bound (45) or above the upper bound (85) are considered outliers.<br /><br />Given the data set:<br />\[ 35, 60, 65, 70, 90 \]<br /><br />- 35 is below the lower bound of 45.<br />- 60, 65, and 70 are within the bounds.<br />- 90 is above the upper bound of 85.<br /><br />Therefore, there is one outlier in the data set.<br /><br />The correct answer is:<br />- there is one outlier.
